Abstract: A divot repair tool has a handle that extends along a plane and a prong portion having a first prong and second prong configured along a prong axis that is substantially orthogonal to the handle, or plane of the handle. This configuration enables easier manipulation of the divot repair tool to twist the ground around the divot inwards into the divot to better repair of the divot. A divot repair tool may be a monolithic part, such as a molded material or sheet of planar material that is cut and further manipulated to create the divot repair. A piece of metal may be stamped to form the general planar shape of the divot repair tool and then this stamped piece may be twisted to configure the prong axis substantially orthogonal from the handle plane and thereby form the twisted portion between the prong portion and handle.

Abstract: A hand tiller has an elongated handle with a left tiller wheel and a right tiller wheel coupled to an axel and configured to rotate about the axel to till the ground. Each of the tiller wheels has a plurality of tines that have a curved geometry, wherein the tines curve circumferentially toward the extended end that is paddle shaped to more effectively penetrate the soil and lift the soil while tilling. Also, the tines taper toward the connected end. The tiller wheels are retained on the axel by tiller wheel retainers that couple with the axel, such as by being threaded into or onto the axel. The handle extends a handle length from the handle-end to the axel-end. The handle has a thumb flange on both the top side and bottom side to provide a resting place for a person's thumb when operating the hand tiller.
